Trusted bath re-enamelling in Mere Heath

Bath re-enamelling in Mere Heath without replacing anything

If your bath is sound but looks tired, re-enamelling is normally the most cost-effective option. There is no removal, plumbing or tiling involved. We regularly repair cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths, and common reasons people get in touch are stains that won’t shift and thin, worn enamel in places.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • Do not let dyes or oils sit on the finish
  • Have chips seen to early
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

A quick rinse and wipe after use helps, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.

What affects the price in Mere Heath

Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Mere Heath

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Signs you need bath re-enamelling in Mere Heath

Enamel wears gradually. Abrasive cleaners, limescale and years of use wear the gloss away, generally first under the taps and around the waste.

People generally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Staining under the taps and around the waste
  • Several chips and rust patches
  • Worn patches where water runs and sits
  • A coating lifting around the plughole

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • When it can be used again
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace in Mere Heath?

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is normally much cheaper than replacing it, when you count removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating. It’s also far quicker. Prices start from £350. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

We resurface acrylic baths as well, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported for the finish to last.

Cast iron

Re-enamelling suits cast iron baths perfectly. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so a new finish makes them look new again.

Mere Heath questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

How long is the bath unusable?

One day for most baths and can be used the day after. We’ll confirm timings when we quote.

Is there a smell?

Yes, while we’re applying the finish. Ventilation keeps it down, and it fades as the finish cures.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you resurface freestanding baths?

Yes, frequently. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take the best part of a day, tidy-up included.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. Primer and finish coats are applied.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
